Fey and Phelps Mark the Return of SNL
Saturday Night Live has returned, and their season opener featured Tina Fey as Sarah Palin, a now-pregnant Amy Poehler reprising her role as Hillary Clinton, Lil' Wayne as musical guest and Michael Phelps as the host (who didn't take his shirt off during one sketch, not one!).
There's still no word on if Fey will continue her Palin appearances through November (or...post-November?), but she nailed it last night. No word on if the real Sarah Palin has seen it, but ABC News reports that she was flying Jetb

Saturday Night Live: Michael Phelps/Lil Wayne (season premiere) - VIDEOS
Filed under: OpEd, Saturday Night Live, Episode Reviews, Reality-Free(S34E01) Well, well, Saturday Night Live is back for another season and we couldn't be more excited. Actually, we probably could be more excited, but we're still tuning in and that's what matters.
Personally, I believe they took a risk in inviting an athlete to open the season with a bang, as I often find their performances super-awkward and damn near unwatchable, but there are folks that go totally nuts when sports people host. Plus, Mic

Tina Fey dazzles as Sarah Palin on "Saturday Night Live"; and boy, is that show going to miss Amy Poehler
Michael Phelps was the host, but Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were the stars.
"Saturday Night Live" opened a new season with a stellar skit uniting Gov. Sarah Palin (Fey) and Sen. Hillary Clinton (Poehler). They are pictured.
The show wisely exploited Fey's resemblance to Palin -- I presume Fey will be on standby all fall to step in. The "30 Rock" star was hilarious.
The faux politicians talked about sexism in politics. Or as Clinton said: "'An issue which I am frankly surprised

SNL Makes Fun Of Michael Phelps’ Diet…FINALLY!
Yes, I am not a huge fan of Michael Phelps. (I am just waiting for the hate mail!) But seriously, I am a little jealous of how much that guy can eat! He eats as much at one meal as I eat in a week! Why can’t I eat 12, 000 calories a day?? (Bravo for Michael who can totally make fun of himself and enjoy it..)

Saturday Night Live: Season Premiere with Michael Phelps, Live Thoughts
Tonight Saturday Night Live returns for yet another season. The long-running sketch comedy series is starting with a risky choice for host, Olympian Michael Phelps. While he certainly is one of the most recognizable faces of the summer, athletes rarely make great hosts for the sake of comedy. But with the presidential election heating up, Saturday Night Live has more than enough material some hilarious entertainment. Sarah Palin alone should provide fodder for several sketches.

Michael Phelps on SNL: What’s the Verdict?
Honestly, though, between the Palin/Clinton sketch at the start and the Cathy bit on Weekend Update (if you find that bit on YouTube, PLEASE let me know), I hardly even noticed Phelpsy was there. Probably for the best.
I would have noticed him more if he were nakeder. And more in my bed. With his gold medals hanging around his neck and a pillow draped gently over the entirety of his face. And he would be silent except to occasionally whisper hot sexy things in my head while managing not to use any of the l
